English Language
Directions (Q. 51-65) Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
Certain words have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the
questions.
Indeed the western recession is really the beginning of good news for India. But to understand
that we will have to move away for a while from the topic of western recession . To the Japanese
recession! For years the Japanese style of management has been admired. However, over the last
decade or so, one key question has sprung up if Japanese management style is as wonderful as
described then why has Japan been in a recession for more than a decade?
The answer to this question is very simple, Culture plays a very important part in shaping up
economies. What succeeds in one culture fails in another. Japanese are basically non-materialistic.
And however rich they and buying endlessly. And once they have everything they need, there is a
saturation point. It was only when companies like Toyota realized that they cannot keep selling cars
endlessly to their home market that they went really aggressive in the western markets and the rest is
history. Japanese companies grew bigger by catering to the World markets when their home markets
shrunk.
And the markets have to shrink finally after attaining a level of affluence. And thats great for
the World because earth needs sustainable development. It does not need monstrous consumers who
keep consuming at the cost of the environment and the earth. There should be limits to growth so that
consumers are not converted into material dustbins for the profit to a handful of corporations.
Owing to the materialistic culture elsewhere, it was possible to keep selling newer products to
the consumers despite having existing ones which served equally well. They were lured through
advertising and marketing techniques of dustbinisation of the customer and then finally, once they
became ready customers, they were given loans and credits to help them buy more and more. When
all the creditworthy people were given loans to a logical limit, they ceased to be a part of the market.
Even this would have been understandable if it could work as an eye opener. Instead of taking the
Right Step as Toyota did, they preferred to take a shortcut. Now banks went to the noncreditworthy people and gave them loans. The people expectedly defaulted and the entire system
collapsed.
Now, like Toyota western companies will learn to find new markets. They will now lean
towards India because of its common man. The billion plus population in the next 25 years will
By Ramandeep Singh
Page 7
become a consuming middle-class. Finally, the Worlds attention will shift to the developing World.
Finally, there will be a real surge in income of these people and in the next fifty odd years, one can
really hope to see an equal World in terms of material plenty, with poverty being almost non-existent.
And this will happen not by selling more cars to Americans and Europeans. It will happen by creating
markets in India, China, Latin America and Africa, by giving their people purchasing power and by
marketing products for them.
The recession has made us realize that it is not because of worse management techniques but
because of limits to growth. And they will realize that it is great for planet earth. After all, how many
cars and houses must the rich own before calling it enough? Its time for them to look at others as
well. Many years back, to increase his own profits, Henry Ford had started paying hits workers more,
so that they could buy his cars. In similar fashion, now the developed World will pay the developing
World people so that they can buy their cars and washing machines.
The recession will kick-start the process of making the entire World more prosperous and lay
the foundation of limits to growth in the west and the foundation of real globalization in the World
the globalization of prosperity. And one of its first beneficiaries will be India.

The number of train accidents in 2014 = 200
The number of train accidents in 2012 = 200

So, required difference = 36 28 = 8
135.
= 36
= 28
Option E
The ratio of the number of deaths in 2010 to that in 2014 = (100 + 300 + 500 + 700) : (200 +
300 + 400 + 600) = 1600 : 1500 = 16 : 15
136.

137.
Option E
Production of Punjab is maximum = 105000 tonnes
138.
Option C
Production of Wheat in Punjab = 40000 tonnes

Production of Maize in Odisha = 10000 tonnes

Income of MP from export of 40% of Rice at the rate of Rs.30 per kg = 32500
1000 30 = Rs.39 Crore

Income of UP from export of 30% of Rice at the rate of Rs.32 per kg = 30000 1000
32 = Rs.28.8 Crore
So, required ratio = 39 : 28.8 = 390 : 288 = 65 : 48
Option C
Expenditure of Company B = 60 lakh
Income of Company B

144.
Option B
Difference = 6000000
145.
Option E
5000000
= 2040000 1400000 = Rs.640000
Expenditure on Machine and Electricity of Company B = 6000000

10.8 lakh
Expenditure on Machine and Electricity of Company A = 5000000
lakh
So, required % =
100%
=
146.
= Rs.1080000 =
= Rs.600000 = 6
100% = 80%
Hence, expenditure of Company B is 80% more than Company A.
Option C
Total number of volcanic eruptions in the year 2009 = 20 + 60 + 20 + 60 + 60 + 120 =

340
Total number of volcanic eruptions in the year 2011 = 100 + 120 + 120 + 20 + 40 + 60 =
460
So, required ratio = 340 : 460 = 17 : 23
147.
Option D
Total number of volcanic eruptions in Japan during the given four years = 60 + 100 + 120
+ 140 = 420
Total number of volcanoes in Japan = 1000

148.
149.
= 123.52%
Option B
Difference between the number of volcanoes in Indonesia and the number of volcanoes in
Morocco = 1000
1000
= 200 100 = 100
Option D
Total number of volcanic eruptions in Chile = 40 + 60 + 80 + 120 = 300

Total number of volcanic eruptions in USA = 20 + 60 + 80 + 100 = 260

= 115.38%
Hence, volcanic eruptions in Chile is 115.38% of the total number of volcanic eruptions
in USA.
150.
Option C
Total volcanoes in Newzealand = 1000

= 120
Total number of volcanic eruptions in Newzealand = 40 + 60 + 80 + 120 = 300
